September 2012

We were going to do a gravel walkway with some curbing
but it turned out to be the same price if we did our own
sidewalk...so we did

We poured the footings to the shop...they bowed a little but
it's nice to have step one out of the way.  We
were hoping to get the floor poured too but it didn't work out

Here is the boys sandbox.

All we need is a pile of dirt!

Another goose egg to add to the collection

Wrestiling is a favorite activity for the boys...possibly
how they get half of their bonks and bruises

 Obviously I can't seem to resist sleeping pictures...I love to see them so peaceful.

Big Events in September

He was so good, poor kid was miserable...having
such a high fever for so long, being poked and
prodded, not eating or drinking...still so loving

 My boys like to scare me.  Malachi had a fever over 104 for 5 days.  I had called the Dr about it but they thought it was just from getting his shots on Friday...if it didn't go down by Wednesday I could bring him in.  Well his fever was so high and he seemed to be having problems breathing Tuesday in the middle of the night so I dedided I couldn't wait any longer and took him to the ER while Brigham stayed home with the sleeping boys...he expected us back within an hour...unfortunately we didn't even get checked in for over an hour, and we were the only ones in the waiting room....anyway they couldn't get his fever down.  When we checked in his o2 was only 80 and his temperature was 105.7.  so they did some bloodwork and x-rays...blood work came back irregular so they decided to admit him to pediatrics. 

Daddy and the boys came to see us

Gabe loves eating crushed ice

So after throwing out some pretty serious names like Kawasaki's and Leukemia...Malachi's dr also threw out a couple of viruses that can mess with the blood count....After being there all day, Malachi's fever finally broke and he broke out in a rash.  His Dr. realized right away that he had Roseola, which is very common.  Looking at everything together made is seem bad but once we figured out the cause of the fever we were able to look at everything seperate and they all had an explanation.  He also had a string of viral pneumonia...Once we could get him to drink something on his own we were able to take him home...he didn't want to stay at the hospital anymore tied down. Gabe actually had Roseola before, I recognized the rash...but with Gabe we didn't know or take him in...just all the sudden he broke out in the rash...never figured out what it was from until I saw Malachi's...not sure why Malachi was affected so much from it...maybe cause he had so many things going on at once....So glad he is okay.

Zeke's first day of preschool

Gabe's first day of preschool

I signed the boys up for the little preschool that the
 highschool for their child development class, it was
more like nursery...play time with a craft, but the boys
enjoyed it

 The boys actually went to their first day of school, the same day that Brigham went back to school to get his Master's Degree...they boys enjoyed it...Brigham can't wait to be done :)  we have all been a little busier

Splash Park/Climbing Park

 So oddly, I didn't get any pictures but we had this get together because of my little brother's farewell...I didn't take any pictures at the farewell...I must be losing it.  He left in October and is Serving Atlanta, Georgia.

I brought the boys to the splash park for a few minutes the
week before this and they loved it and didn't want to leave
So I brought them back with Malachi and the older boys
wouldn't even play in the water...Malachi loved it though

He's not happy because his cousin tried to make him get
 in the water...somedays he likes water, others not so much

We moved over to the regular park...we call it climbing park
because there are so many climbing obstacles...they had
a lot of fun...they love the park, and spending time with
their cousins...who came with us.

These look like seats but they have them angled just right
so you sit on them and they spin...sometimes they get
spinning really fast



Gabe remembers this as the seat that made him fall off



That is my sister on the ground...she's not doing pushups,
she actually stands in front of the kids and lets them kick
her down...they love it...Zeke is swinging with no hands!

Onion Days 2012

We all like to snuggle...sometimes the boys say Daddy
is too hot to snuggle so they want to by themselves

Another funny sleeping pose

Malachi's first carnival rides!

We got rained out at the carnival this year...the boys didn't mind too much...they were still able to do most of the rides...the rain was worse earlier and it let up a little and stopped for a bit just before we left...we had to wait to do their favorite the big yellow slide, but we made it down...and came out with wet pants

As wild as Gabe is, it surprises me that he doesn't love the
rides like Zeke does...must be the heights or lack of control

Zeke could do all the rides over and over again...everyday!

Poor kiddo didn't even want to ride on the horses

Malachi enjoyed the carolsel

He is so expressionate today...Love this kid...and all of them

Zeke was brave to go on Gee Wizz with me...he didn't
scream or anything...but he didn't like it

The caterpillar and dragon are his favorites

They even love the swings.

Gabe was a little afraid of the fireworks, didn't like the noise
and thought they were going to get him...I remember when
I was little, thinking they were going to fall on me

Malachi wasn't scared of the fireworks...this was because
he is a little bit of a clingon with me...I had to set him down
to take the picture and he didn't like that...he did like
the fireworks.
